House Republican Leaders Urge Halt to Stage 2 Meaningful Use Payments

Yesterday (10/4/2012), in a letter from House Republican leaders to HHS, House Republican leaders expressed serious concern regarding the Stage 2 Meaningful Use program and requested HHS to take the following action:

Immediately suspend the distribution of incentive payments until universal interoperable standards are promulgated by HHS;

Increase what is expected of Meangingful Users (e.g., increasing the utilization percentages established in the current Stage 2 rules);

Eliminate the subsidization of business practices that block the exchange of information between providers.
